| Trike, A Biography of sewagey proportions!: This first starts out not with the beginning of trike, but before trike. This included the same members (with a few come-and-goers) a year or two before trike... Back in late 7th - early 8th grade Me and Brian decided we wanted to start up a band. So we found a drummer, Mikey. Our first practice, me and brian both brought our guitars (at this time brian played electric too). Mike said "hey, until we find a bassist, just borrow my dads and fill in" (brian ended up liking bass alot, so he switched to-) And this, was 5 finger discount. We added a second guitarist (Ryan bednar) for like a week, but he wasnt really motivated and he seemed bored, so it was back to us 3 for a little. Then we added this kid Tony Gee (who is now a fake dumbass nazi fuck) on Lead guitar, and this kid Mark S on vocals (since none of us could or wanted to sing). At this time we had 2 original songs, which you can hear on a tape we have... but you really really dont want to (it sounds like linkin park taking a shit). We recorded the whole thing within 15 minutes, and to top that off, the film on the tape is warped, making the sound fade out and the pitch levels to fly low and high everyonce in a while. Maybe a week after our new 5 person lineup, things started shitting out... and we kicked out Tony, and Mike wasn't going to stay without him so we kicked the both of them out.. Mark was pretty much out too(He never did that much when he was in anyway), so it was back to me and brian. After a long break, we worked shit out with mike, and got back together with him(September 02'). Then, some band from england tried to sue us for stealing their name, so we decided it was best to drop 5FD(5 Finger Discount- you can still reach THIS website from typing in "www.5fdpunkrock.cjb.net" ...heh heh) and come up with a new name. We decided on Trike because it made us shit our pants with glee. We wrote one new song (the infamous slit on the wrist), and decided we were impatient to play a show, so we played the even more infamous, first trike show. 80 proof played, and made fun of our shittyness for months and months after (basically taking us off the show playing map for a while, because of the horrible horrible reputation). Then, we wrote about 5 new songs over the summer that were a very different (much better) sound then our other stuff. And somehow, we got a show at Chris Plunkets house. People expected us to be the worst band ever, so even if we didnt play our best it wouldnt be that bad. Well I guess some people liked the sound, cuz we started getting invited to more shows, and people started liking us. Then, when we were nearing a high on shows... mike quit cuz of grades. It sucked. For a short period, Brian and me looked around for a new drummer, while mike apparently pulled his grades up. Me and bri talked, and invited Mike back in (3rd times a charm eh). Now we got a decent sized setlist that keeps growing. Now if we can just get our asses into a studio (haha, expect our first CD late april.) - by Patrike (and italicized areas by Brian) |
